We met on Tuesday and decided that because of her intellectual skills (reading, math, writing and reasoning) being so high (apparently she is very bored in class) and her social skills being very good (as said by her teacher, not me) and her being old for her grade, that the best thing would be for her to skip into First Grade. So, we've packed her a lunch and won't be picking her up from school until 2:30 pm. It will be a big change for all of us, but I know that Laura will love finally learning things in school.

Laura Starts First Grade
What?! I thought that Laura just started Kindergarten. Yep, we are still adjusting too. Last Friday I came home to a message from Laura's school principal saying that he would like to "discuss a matter concerning your daughter, Laura." I started freaking out thinking that I have dressed her terribly wrong in her uniforms or something similar. When I called him back he said that they wanted her to skip grades and for us to meet to discuss it.

Laura truly is exceptional, and has been for a long time! She is where she should be, but she'll surely be missed at home.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is funny that she is going to be in first grade since you were going to have her tested before you knew she would be in the charter school. I guess that it was meant to be. She will do awesome! It's Laura. She always does awesome! Many compliments to you for being such an outstanding mother!
ReplyDeleteIt really is the best thing for her in the long run. She'll be happier and will love finally learning at school. And she will do great!
ReplyDeleteGood for Laura! It didn't take long for the teachers to see what we knew all along.
ReplyDeleteLaura will do great...I am worried about Mom and Dad though...be strong your baby is growing up!
She's such a smarty. I always knew she should be in the next grade. Miss you!!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Laura! (And Melinda too) It sounds like a great adventure for Laura.
